2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include those of iRobot and its subsidiaries, after elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. iRobot has prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been made to state fairly the Company's financial position. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year or any future periods. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2020.

The Company operates and reports using a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Accordingly, the Company’s fiscal quarters end on the Saturday that falls closest to the last day of the third month of each quarter.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. The Company adopted the standard effective December 29, 2019 which resulted in no adjustment to the allowance for credit losses upon adoption. See the description of the Company’s "Credit Losses" accounting policy below.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." The amendment modifies disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement. The Company adopted this standard effective December 29, 2019 which did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software." The new standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The Company adopted the standard using the prospective method effective December 29, 2019 which did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes." The ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles as well as clarifying and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application. The amendments to this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on the retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. The Company intends to adopt the ASU effective January 3, 2021, and is currently evaluating the impact to the consolidated financial statements.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Impact of COVID-19

The global pandemic related to the novel coronavirus ~~(COVID-19)~~("COVID-19") has resulted in significant economic disruption. The pandemic and associated actions and measures implemented by governments around the world to slow the spread of COVID-19 have altered macroeconomic conditions and created recession-like environments around the world. These dynamics ~~have~~ had an adverse impact on the Company's financial and operating ~~results.~~results during the first quarter of 2020. At the same time, mandated orders to "shelter-in-place" and other social distancing measures have directly and indirectly affected sales and supply chain activities.

~~The Company observed increased demand during~~During the second quarter of 2020, the Company observed increased demand as maintaining a clean home ~~has taken~~took on greater prominence during the pandemic with sell-through momentum building ~~globally over~~globally. The favorable demand environment continued to strengthen in the ~~past several months. However,~~third quarter of 2020 with stronger-than-anticipated retail orders and robust growth in direct-to-consumer sales. As the ~~Company expects to continue to be impacted as the~~global pandemic situation remains dynamic and subject to rapid and possibly material ~~changes. Additional~~changes, additional impacts may arise of which the Company is not currently aware. The nature and extent of such impacts will depend on future developments, which are still highly uncertain. The Company will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter the business operations as may be required by federal, state, local or foreign authorities, or that the Company determines are in the best interests of its employees, customers, and stockholders.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company evaluated its assets for impairment, including strategic investments, goodwill and long-lived assets. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions and determined that no impairment existed as of ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020. However, the Company is unable to predict how long the pandemic will persist or the timing and speed of any economic recovery that may follow. Any measures that prolong shelter-in-place or restrict business activities are highly likely to be harmful to the consumer product retail industry in general, and consequently, to the Company's business.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses. These estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, including performance obligations, variable consideration and other obligations such as product returns and incentives; allowance for credit losses; warranty costs; valuation of goodwill and acquired intangible assets; valuation of financial instruments; evaluating loss contingencies; accounting for stock-based compensation including performance-based assessments; and accounting for income taxes and related valuation allowances. The Company bases these estimates and judgments on historical experience, market participant fair value considerations, projected future cash flows and various other factors that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates.

Credit Losses

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of its products. The Company assesses each customer's ability to pay by conducting a credit review which includes consideration of established credit ratings or an internal assessment of the customer's creditworthiness based on an analysis of their financial information when a credit rating is not available. The Company monitors the credit exposure through active review of customer balances. The Company's expected loss methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current customer credit ratings, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of customers' account balances. Although the Company historically has not experienced significant credit losses as it relates to trade accounts receivable, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused uncertainty in some customer accounts. The Company recorded its estimate of credit losses, resulting in an increase to the reserve and bad debt expense, of ~~$0.0~~$1.0 million and ~~$4.5~~$5.5 million during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, respectively. As of ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the Company had an allowance for credit losses of ~~$5.7~~$6.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

The Company's exposure to credit losses may increase if its customers are adversely affected by changes in economic pressures or uncertainty associated with local or global economic recessions or other customer-specific factors. It is possible that there could be a material adverse impact to the carrying amount of accounts receivables if the liquidity of retailers, resellers and distributors continues to be impacted by disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tariff Refunds

On April 24, 2020, the Company was granted a temporary exclusion from Section 301 List 3 tariffs by the United States Trade ~~Representative.~~Representative ("USTR"). This exclusion, as extended in August 2020, eliminates the 25% tariff on Roomba products imported from China until ~~August 7,~~December 31, 2020 and ~~entitles~~entitled the Company to a refund of approximately ~~$57.2~~$60.3 million in tariffs paid since the date the Section 301 List 3 tariffs were imposed. The Section 301 tariffs from which these products are now excluded were implemented at 10% beginning in September 2018 and increased to 25% in June 2019. While tariff refund claims are subject to the approval of U.S. Customs, the Company currently expects to recover the entire balance of ~~$57.2 million.~~$60.3 million within the next nine months. During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, the Company recognized approximately ~~$48.7~~$40.0 million of refunds for tariffs paid in 2018 and 2019 as operating income (reduction to cost of product revenue) ~~related to~~.

~~Other Assets~~Strategic Investments

The Company holds non-marketable equity securities as part of its strategic investments portfolio. The Company classifies the majority of these securities as equity securities without readily determinable fair values and measures these investments at cost, less any impairment, adjusted for observable price changes. At ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, ~~other assets consisted primarily of~~the Company's equity securities without readily determinable fair values and an equity method investment ~~totaling $21.7~~totaled $15.3 million and $21.0 million, ~~respectively.~~ respectively, and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

On July 1, 2020, Teladoc Health, Inc. ("Teladoc") closed on its previously announced acquisition of InTouch Health, of which the Company held non-marketable equity securities. In exchange for its shares of InTouch Health, the Company received 0.2 million shares of ~~Teledoc~~Teladoc and ~~will record~~recorded a gain of ~~approximately~~ $38.6 million to other ~~(expense)~~ income, net during the ~~third quarter of~~three months ended September 26, 2020. The ~~Teledoc~~Teladoc shares received are subject to time based contractual sales restrictions which expire in January 2021. These shares ~~will be~~are accounted for as marketable equity securities and measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other ~~(expense)~~ income, net at the end of each reporting period. As a result, the Company entered into an economic hedge in July 2020 to reduce the Company's exposure to stock price fluctuations during the restricted period. During the three months ended September 26, 2020, the Company recorded a net gain of $4.9 million from the remeasurements of Teladoc shares and related hedge. As of September 26, 2020, the shares in Teladoc were valued at $52.1 million and are recorded in short term investments on the consolidated balance sheet.

Net Income Per Share

Basic income per share is calculated using the Company's weighted-average outstanding common shares. Diluted income

per share is calculated using the Company's weighted-average outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of stock

awards as determined under the treasury stock method.

The following table presents the calculation of both basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

3. Revenue Recognition

The Company primarily derives its revenue from product sales. The Company sells products directly to consumers through on-line stores and indirectly through resellers and distributors. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers, generally as title and risk of loss passes, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is recognized only to the extent that it is

iROBOT CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)

probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. Taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling expenses are considered fulfillment activities and are expensed as incurred.

~~iROBOT CORPORATION~~

~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)~~

The Company’s product portfolio includes various consumer robots, many of which are Wi-Fi connected. The consumer robots are generally highly dependent on, and interrelated with, the embedded software and cannot function without the software. As such, the consumer robots are accounted for as a single performance obligation, and the revenue is recognized at a point in time when the control is transferred to distributors, resellers or directly to end customers through on-line stores. For certain consumer robots with Wi-Fi capability ("connected robots"), each sale represents an arrangement with multiple promises consisting of the robot, an app, cloud services and potential future unspecified software upgrades. The Company has determined that the app, cloud services and potential future unspecified software upgrades represent one promised service to the customer to enhance the functionality and interaction with the robot (referred to collectively as "Cloud Services").

For contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price ("SSP"). The SSP reflects the Company's best estimate of what the selling prices of performance obligations would be if they were sold regularly on a standalone basis. Revenue allocated to the robots is recognized at a point in time when control is transferred. Revenue allocated to the Cloud Services is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period the software upgrades and services are expected to be provided. For contracts with a duration of greater than one year, the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 is ~~$5.3~~$7.3 million. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.

The Company’s products generally carry a one-year or two-year limited warranty that promises customers that delivered products are as specified. The Company does not consider these assurance-type warranties as a separate performance obligation and therefore, the Company accounts for such warranties under ASC 460, "Guarantees."

The Company provides limited rights of returns for direct-to-consumer sales generated through its on-line stores and certain resellers and distributors. The Company records an allowance for product returns based on specific terms and conditions included in the customer agreements or based on historical experience and the Company's expectation of future returns. In addition, the Company may provide other credits or incentives which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. Where appropriate, these estimates take into consideration relevant factors such as the Company’s historical experience, current contractual requirements, specific known market events and forecasted inventory level in the channels. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates, and the actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. Returns and credits are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available and only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur. As of ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, the Company has reserves for product returns of ~~$49.2~~ $51.5 million and other credits and incentives of ~~$76.6 million.~~$86.6 million. As of December 28, 2019, the Company had reserves for product returns of $55.2 million and other credits and incentives of $134.0 million. Revenue recognized during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 related to performance obligations satisfied in a prior period was not material.

The

change in the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract assets and contract liabilities primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. During the three months ended ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 and ~~June 29,~~September 28, 2019, the Company ~~recognized $3.8~~recognized $1.8 million ~~and $5.3~~and $1.7 million, respectively, of the contract liability balance as revenue upon transfer of the products or services to customers.

4. Leases

The Company's leasing arrangements primarily consist of operating leases for its facilities which include corporate, sales and marketing and research and development offices. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the related right-of-use asset and lease obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. The Company's leases typically include rental escalation clauses, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into the determination of lease payments when appropriate. The Company does not separate lease and nonlease components of contracts and excludes all variable lease payments from the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company's variable lease payments generally include usage based nonlease components. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company's existing leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at December 30, 2018 (date of initial application) or the lease commencement date for new leases post adoption. At ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, the Company's weighted average discount rate ~~was 3.58%~~was 3.56%, while the weighted average remaining lease term was ~~8.75 years.~~8.50 years.

Financial Statement Impact of Adopting ASC 842

The Company adopted ASC 842 effective December 30, 2018 using the alternative transition method. Under this alternative transition method, a company is permitted to use its effective date as the date of initial application without restating comparative period financial statements. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed the Company to carryforward its historical assessments of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. In addition, the Company elected the practical expedient to use hindsight in determining lease term. The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $52.8 million and $67.3 million, respectively. The standard did not materially impact the Company's consolidated income or cash flows.

8. Derivative Instruments

The Company operates internationally and, in the normal course of business, is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The foreign currency exposures typically arise from transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company's operations, primarily the British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The Company uses derivative instruments that are designated in cash flow hedge relationships to reduce or eliminate the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on sales. These contracts typically have maturities ofof thirty-seven months or less. At ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the Company had outstanding cash flow hedges with a total notional value of ~~$411.2~~$430.2 million and $424.6 million, respectively.

iROBOT CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)

The Company also enters into economic hedges that are not designated as hedges from an accounting standpoint to reduce or eliminate the effects of foreign exchange rate changes typically related to short term trade receivables and payables. These contracts typically have maturities of twelve months or less. At ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the Company had outstanding foreign currency economic hedges with a total notional value of ~~$61.1~~$26.8 million ~~and~~and $58.4 million, respectively.

As described in Note 2, during July 2020, the Company entered into a forward sale contract as an economic hedge to reduce the Company's exposure to stock price fluctuations on its marketable equity securities. The contract has a maturity date of January 2021. At September 26, 2020, the total notional value of this economic hedge was $51.5 million.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time and in the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various claims, charges and litigation. The outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to us, which could materially affect our financial condition or results of operations. For the following litigation matters, a liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and therefore accruals have not been made.

On October 24, 2019, purported Company shareholder Miramar Firefighters’ Pension Fund filed a putative class action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain of its directors and officers, captioned Miramar Firefighters’ Pension Fund v. iRobot Corporation, et al., No. 1:19-cv-09837. The case has been transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. A similar case captioned Campbell v. iRobot Corporation, et al., No. 1:19-cv-12483 was also filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and subsequently transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. On January 24, 2020, the Court consolidated the Miramar and Campbell cases (the consolidated cases together, the "Securities Class Action") and appointed a lead plaintiff and lead plaintiff's Counsel. On April 3, 2020, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder based on allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions concerning the impact of competition and Section 301 tariffs on the Company’s financial performance, and the Company has filed a motion to dismiss the case. A hearing was held on the Company’s motion to dismiss on September 17, 2020, and the Company is currently awaiting a ruling on its motion to dismiss.

On December 20, 2019, purported Company shareholders David Katz and Thomas Wightman, derivatively on behalf of iRobot Corporation, filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for Southern District of New York against the Company and certain of its directors and officers, captioned David Katz and Thomas Wightman, on behalf of iRobot Corporation v. iRobot Corporation, et al., No. 1:19-cv-11692. The complaint alleges breaches of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder based on allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions concerning the Company's acquisitions of Sales on Demand Corporation and Robopolis SAS and the Company's subsequent financial performance. The complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages, including interest, in connection with the Company's allegedly inflated stock price, attorneys' fees and costs, and unspecified equitable/injunctive relief. This case has been transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Similarly, additional derivative litigations -- namely: Robert Truman, on behalf of iRobot Corporation v. iRobot Corporation, et al., No. 1:20-cv-10034; Alexa Ruhfass, on behalf of iRobot Corporation v. iRobot Corporation, et al., No. 1:20-cv-10133; and William Tasco, derivatively on behalf of iRobot Corporation v. iRobot Corporation, et al., No. 1:20-cv-10253 - were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. All of these cases have been consolidated in a case captioned as In re iRobot Corporation Derivative litigation, No. 1:20-cv-10034, and have been stayed pending a ruling on the motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action.

Outstanding Purchase Orders

At ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, the Company had outstanding purchase orders aggregating ~~approximately $337.5~~approximately $301.3 million. The purchase orders, the majority of which are with the Company's contract manufacturers for the purchase of inventory in the normal course of business, are for manufacturing and non-manufacturing related goods and services, and are generally ~~cancelable~~cancellable without penalty. In circumstances where the Company has determined that it has financial exposure associated with any of these commitments, the Company records a liability in the period in which that exposure is identified.

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company’s customers, in connection with any patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right infringement claim by any third party. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual any time after execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal.

iROBOT CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)

Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, respectively.

12. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 and ~~June 29,~~September 28, 2019, was ~~16.1%~~24.3% and ~~(6.3)%~~18.2%, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to ~~lower tax benefits recognized related to stock-based compensation. During~~ the ~~three months ended June 29, 2019,~~jurisdictional profit mix and the ~~Company’s effective income tax rate included the recognition~~impact of ~~a discrete tax benefit upon the effective settlement of a foreign tax audit.~~

The Company's effective income tax rate of 16.1% for the three months ended June 27, 2020 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the discrete recognition of foreign tax credits and other tax benefits made possible by the income from the tariff refunds recognized during the quarter.valuation allowances.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 and ~~June 29,~~September 28, 2019, was ~~18.5%~~22.6% and ~~2.0%~~11.6%, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to the recognition of tax expense associated with stock-based compensation compared to a tax benefit for the prior period.

The Company's effective income tax rate of ~~18.5%~~24.3% and 22.6% for the ~~six~~three and nine months ended ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the ~~discrete~~jurisdictional mix of earnings and the recognition of ~~foreign tax credits and other tax benefits made possible by the income from the tariff refunds recognized~~valuation allowances during the period. ~~The impact of these benefits was offset by discrete tax expense associated with stock-based compensation.~~

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the CARES Act, but at present does not expect the CARES Act to result in any material income tax benefit.

Overview

iRobot is a leading consumer robot company that designs and builds robots that empower people to do more both inside and outside of the home. Our consumer robots help people find smarter ways to clean and accomplish more in their daily lives. Our portfolio of solutions features proprietary technologies for the connected home and advanced concepts in cleaning, mapping and navigation, human-robot interaction and physical solutions. Leveraging this portfolio, our engineers are building an ecosystem of robots to empower the smart home. For more than 25 years, we have been a pioneer in the robotics and consumer products industries. We sell our robots through a variety of distribution channels, including chain stores and other national retailers, through our ~~on-line store,~~own website and app, dedicated e-commerce websites, the online arms of traditional retailers, and through value-added distributors and resellers worldwide.

As of ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, we had ~~1,120~~1,159 full-time employees. We have developed expertise in the disciplines necessary to design, build, sell and support durable, high-performance and cost-effective robots through the close integration of software, electronics and hardware. Our core technologies serve as reusable building blocks that we adapt and expand to create next-generation robotic platforms. We believe that this approach accelerates the time to market, while also reducing the costs and risk associated with product development. Our significant expertise in consumer needs, robot design, engineering and smart home technologies and trends positions us to capitalize on the growth we expect in the market for robot-based consumer products.

Our continued success depends upon our ability to respond to a number of challenges in the consumer robots market. We believe the most significant of these include increasing competition and our ability to successfully develop and introduce products and product enhancements into both new and existing markets. Furthermore, we believe that our efforts to cost-optimize our products and diversify our contract manufacturing and broader supply chain will continue to play an important role in maintaining competitive product pricing, reducing supply-chain risk and limiting China-related tariff exposure, among other factors that impact our financial condition and results of operations.

During the first quarter of 2020, the global pandemic related to the novel coronavirus ~~(COVID-19)~~("COVID-19") presented significant challenges and adversely impacted our business and operating results. The pandemic directly and indirectly disrupted certain sales and supply chain activities and impacted our ability to address those challenges during the first quarter, which resulted in first-quarter revenue and a net loss per share that was below our original targets. In light of the adverse impact of COVID-19 on our business and on macroeconomic conditions domestically and internationally, along with the uncertainty associated with a potential recovery, we implemented cost-reduction actions in April 2020 that were aimed at generating net savings of approximately $30.0 million in 2020 while enabling us to accelerate investment in key initiatives. Our actions taken during the second quarter of 2020 included reducing our workforce by approximately 5%, furloughing retail-facing marketing staff in Europe, reducing hiring plans, suspending go-to-market and development plans for our Terra robot mower and curtailing working media spending. WeDuring the nine months ended September 26, 2020, we recorded a restructuring charge ~~of $1.9~~totaling $2.1 million primarily associated with severance costs arising from the workforce reduction. During the second quarter of 2020, we observed increased demand for our robots as maintaining a clean home took on greater prominence during the pandemic with sell-through momentum building globally ~~over~~with revenue substantially outperforming our plans at the ~~past several months. Revenue during~~start of the ~~second~~quarter.

While the improved business momentum, particularly in the U.S., has resulted in a ~~modest decline from first-quarter revenue of $192.5 million, as orders in each major geography exceeded our targets.~~

~~Based on our results to date, relatively low inventory levels with retailers and strengthening sell-through trends in each major geography, we now expect~~meaningfully better outlook for 2020, ~~revenue to range from relatively unchanged to slightly higher than 2019 revenue.

Accordingly, current results and financial condition discussed herein may not be indicative of future operating results and trends. Refer to "Risk Factors" for further discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

In April 2020, we were granted a temporary exclusion from Section 301 List 3 tariffs by the United States Trade Representative ("USTR"). This exclusion, as extended in August 2020, eliminates the 25% tariff on Roomba products imported from China until ~~August 7,~~December 31, 2020 and ~~entitled~~entitles us to a refund of ~~$57.2~~approximately $60.3 million in tariffs paid since the date the Section 301 List 3 tariffs were imposed. ~~The exclusion~~During the nine months ended September 26, 2020, we recognized approximately $40.0 million of refunds for tariffs paid in 2018 and ~~the recognition of $48.7 million~~2019 as a benefit to cost of product revenue, which contributed to our strong gross margin during the ~~second quarter~~period. As of ~~2020. We~~September 26, 2020, we have ~~applied~~received $34.9 million of the tariff refund and the outstanding refund receivable was approximately $25.4 million which is recorded in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. There is currently no process to apply for ~~an extension to our tariff exclusion, however we cannot predict the likelihood of obtaining such an~~a further extension nor any formal indication from the ~~length of~~U.S. government that any ~~extension granted. Based on~~such exclusion extensions granted recently for other exclusion requests by the USTR and recent public testimony by USTR leadership, if an extension to our tariff exclusion is granted, it is likely to expire at the end of the calendar year.will be considered. If the exclusion is not extended ~~through~~past December 31, 2020, the ~~second half~~25% tariff will be reinstated, and we expect this incremental cost will dampen our gross profit in 2021. To diversify our manufacturing and help offset the adverse financial impact on our business of the 25% tariff, we are focused on scaling the manufacture of our products in Malaysia. We began this initiative last year ~~or beyond, our operating profitability will be adversely impacted.~~with the goal of being capable of manufacturing broadly and at scale in Malaysia by the end of 2021.

iRobot has continued to advance innovation and bring new products to market in recent quarters. ~~During the first quarter~~In August 2020, we launched iRobot Genius Home Intelligence Platform, a powerful AI-based robot platform that includes an expansive range of ~~2019,~~digital features and experiences for our line of Wi-Fi connected floor cleaning robots. The iRobot Genius gives users greater personalization and control over their cleaning robots. In September 2020, we launched Roomba i7i3 and ~~i7+~~i3+ in ~~EMEA, Japan~~North America. The Roomba i3 offers intelligent navigation, a 3-Stage Cleaning System and ~~China. During the second quarter of 2019, we successfully launched two new~~personalized cleaning ~~robots in the U.S.,~~available with iRobot Genius while the Roomba s9i3+ also includes the self-emptying capability of Clean Base. We believe that the i3 and ~~s9+, which, along with~~i3+ will play an important role in continuing to help shift our product mix up into the ~~features of the Roomba i7~~mid and i7+, are robot vacuums that can clean deep into corners and along edges, and the Braava jet m6 robot mop, which can tackle multiple rooms and large spaces with advanced navigation and mapping capabilities. Together, these two robots can use Imprint Link Technology to talk to each other, automatically vacuuming and then mopping without additional action by the user. During the third quarter of 2019, the s9 and s9+ were launched in EMEA, while the m6 was launched in both EMEA and Japan. The s9 and s9+ were launched in Japan and all other target markets in early 2020.premium tiers.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition including performance obligations, variable consideration and other obligations such as product returns and incentives; allowance for credit losses; warranty costs; valuation of goodwill and acquired intangible assets; evaluating loss contingencies; accounting for stock-based compensation including performance-based assessments; and accounting for income taxes and related valuation allowances. We base these estimates and judgments on historical experience, market participant fair value considerations, projected future cash flows and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates. Additional information about these critical accounting policies may be found in the "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2019.

Effective December 29, 2019, we adopted the new credit losses standard under Accounting Standards Codification 326. The new standard did not result in an adjustment upon adoption. Although we historically have not experienced significant credit losses as it relates to trade accounts receivable, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused uncertainty in some customer accounts. As a result, we recorded our estimate of credit losses, resulting in an increase to the reserve and bad debt expense of ~~$0.0~~$1.0 million and ~~$4.5~~$5.5 million during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, respectively. As of ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, we ~~have~~had an allowance for credit losses of ~~$5.7~~$6.5 million. We have updated our accounting policy in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements.

We recognized approximately $48.7 million as a benefit to cost of product revenue while $8.5 million relates to product on hand and has been recognized as reductions to inventory.

Cost of product revenue decreased to $215.0 million in the six months ended June 27, 2020, compared to $253.9 million in the six months ended June 29, 2019. The $38.9 million decrease in cost of product revenue is primarily due to the recognition of the aforementioned tariff refunds of approximately $48.7 million during the six months ended June 27, 2020, partially offset by increases in warranty and rework costs.

The slight increase in gross margin is due to higher revenue and lack of tariff expense, mostly offset by changes in pricing and promotional activity during the three months ended September 26, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 28, 2019.

Gross margin increased to 51.4% in the nine months ended September 26, 2020 compared to 47.6% in the nine months ended September 28, 2019. The increase in gross margin is primarily related to the recognition of the tariff refunds of ~~$48.7~~$40.0 million ~~as a benefit to cost of product revenue.

Our effective income tax rate of 16.1% for the three months ended June 27, 2020 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the discrete recognition of foreign tax credits and other tax benefits made possible by the income from the tariff refunds recognized during the quarter.valuation allowances.

The ~~$0.6~~$8.5 million income tax expense for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June 29,~~September 28, 2019 resulted in an effective income tax rate of ~~2.0%~~11.6%. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to the recognition of tax expense associated with stock-based compensation compared to a tax benefit for the prior period.

Our effective income tax rate of ~~18.5%~~24.3% and 22.6% for ~~six~~three and nine months ended ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the ~~discrete~~jurisdictional mix of earnings and the recognition of ~~foreign tax credits and other tax benefits made possible by the income from the tariff refunds recognized~~valuation allowances during the period. ~~The impact of these benefits was offset by discrete tax expense associated with stock-based compensation.~~

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to evaluate the impact of the CARES Act, but at present do not expect the CARES Act to result in any material income tax benefit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling ~~$230.7~~$297.2 million and short-term investments of ~~$11.6~~$60.1 million. Our working capital was ~~$423.5~~$542.7 million as of ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, compared to ~~$328.6~~$364.2 million as of ~~June 29,~~September 28, 2019.

We manufacture and distribute our products through contract manufacturers and third-party logistics providers. We believe this approach gives us the advantages of relatively low capital investment and significant flexibility in scheduling production and managing inventory levels. By leasing our office facilities, we also minimize the cash needed for expansion although we invest periodically in upgrading these facilities, a portion of which investment will be reimbursed by the landlords of these facilities. Accordingly, our capital spending is generally limited to machinery and tooling, leasehold improvements, business applications software and computer and equipment. In the three months ended ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 and ~~June 29,~~September 28, 2019, we spent ~~$19.0~~$25.0 million and ~~$14.7~~$27.1 million, respectively, on capital expenditures.

Our strategy for delivering consumer products to our distributors and retail customers gives us the flexibility to provide container shipments directly from our contract manufacturers in Southern China and Malaysia to our customers and, alternatively, allows our distributors and certain retail customers to take possession of product on a domestic basis. Accordingly, our inventory consists of goods shipped to our third-party logistics providers for the fulfillment of distributor, retail and direct-to-consumer sales. Our contract manufacturers are also responsible for purchasing and stocking components required for the production of our products, and they typically invoice us when the finished goods are shipped.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken, and are continuing to take, certain actions to increase liquidity and strengthen our financial position. We implemented cost-reduction actions in April 2020 that are aimed at generating net savings of approximately $30.0 million in 2020 while enabling us to accelerate investment in key initiatives. Our actions taken during the second quarter of 2020 included reducing our workforce by approximately 5%, furloughing retail-facing marketing staff in Europe, reducing hiring plans, suspending go-to-market and development plans for our Terra robot mower and curtailing working media spending. On April 24, 2020, we were granted a temporary exclusion from Section 301 List 3 tariffs by the United States Trade Representative. This exclusion, as extended in August 2020, temporarily eliminates the 25% tariff on Roomba products imported from China until ~~August 7,~~December 31, 2020 and entitles us to a refund of ~~$57.2~~approximately $60.3 million in tariffs paid since the date the Section 301 List 3 tariffs were ~~imposed,~~imposed. During the nine months ended September 26, 2020, we recognized $40.0 million of ~~which $48.7 million was recognized~~refunds for tariffs paid in 2018 and 2019 as a benefit to cost of product ~~revenue in the three months ended June 27, 2020.~~revenue. As of ~~June 27,~~

September 26, 2020, we have received ~~$0.6~~$34.9 million in cash associated with our tariff refunds from the U.S. government. We expect to receive the remaining refunds within the next ~~twelve~~nine months, subject to the timing of releases from U.S. Customs. We historically experience cash outflows during the third quarter, and our cash burn will likely be exacerbated over the next quarter given our anticipated near-term fundamentals and the need to build inventory in advance of the holiday sales season. While we do not believe these activities are likely to require drawing down on our revolving line of credit, any borrowing, if required, is anticipated to be short-term in nature.

Cash provided by operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 was ~~$28.2~~$96.7 million, of which the principal components were our net income of ~~$40.5~~$133.7 million and non-cash charges of ~~$34.6~~$18.9 million, partially offset by cash outflow of ~~$46.9~~$55.8 million from increases in working capital. The ~~change~~increase in working capital ~~primarily relates to the~~was mainly driven by an increase in ~~other current assets~~inventory of ~~$57.8~~$61.0 million ~~driven by the recognition~~in advance of the ~~tariff refunds receivable~~holiday season and inventory associated with the launch of Roomba i3 and i3+ during the ~~three months ended June 27,~~third quarter of 2020.

Cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 was ~~$14.1~~$18.3 million. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, we invested ~~$19.0~~$25.0 million in the purchase of property and equipment, including machinery and tooling for new products and manufacturing expansion in Malaysia. In addition, we made strategic investments of ~~$2.1~~$3.7 million, while proceeds from the sales and maturities of marketable securities amounted to ~~$7.0~~$10.5 million.

Cash used in financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 was ~~$23.1~~$22.8 million, which primarily reflects the repurchase of 663,602 shares of our common stock for $25.0 million under ~~the~~our stock repurchase program in March 2020.

Working Capital Facilities

Credit Facility

In June 2018, we entered into a new agreement with Bank of America, N.A., increasing the amount of our unsecured revolving line of credit from $75.0 million to $150.0 million and extending the term of the credit facility to June 2023. As of ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The revolving line of credit is available to fund working capital and other corporate purposes. The interest on loans under our credit facility accrues, at our election, at either (1) LIBOR plus a margin, currently equal to 1.0%, based on our ratio of indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA (the "Eurodollar Rate"), or (2) the lender’s base rate. The lender’s base rate is equal to the highest of (1) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (2) the lender’s prime rate and (3) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%. In the event that LIBOR is discontinued as expected in 2021, we expect the interest rates for our debt following such event will be based on either alternate base rates or agreed upon replacement rates. While we do not expect a LIBOR discontinuation would affect our ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings, it could result in higher interest rates.

The credit facility contains customary terms and conditions for credit facilities of this type, including restrictions on our ability to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, create liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, make loans or investments, sell assets, pay dividends or make distributions on, or repurchase, our stock, and consolidate or merge with other entities. In addition, we are required to meet certain financial covenants customary with this type of agreement, including maintaining a maximum ratio of indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA and a minimum specified interest coverage ratio.

The credit facility contains customary events of default, including for payment defaults, breaches of representations, breaches of affirmative or negative covenants, cross defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and failure to discharge certain judgments. If a default occurs and is not cured within any applicable cure period or is not waived, our obligations under the credit facility may be accelerated.

As of ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants under the revolving credit facility.

Lines of Credit

We have an unsecured letter of credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., available to fund letters of credit up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $5.0 million. As of ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, we had letters of credit outstanding of $0.7 million under our letter of credit facility and other lines of credit with Bank of America, N.A.

We have an unsecured guarantee line of credit with Mizuho, Bank Ltd., available to fund import tax payments up to an aggregate outstanding amount of 220.0 million Japanese Yen. As of ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, we had no outstanding balance under the guarantee line of credit.

Working Capital and Capital Expenditure Needs

We currently have no material cash commitments, except for normal recurring trade payables, expense accruals, capital expenditures and operating leases, all of which we anticipate funding through working capital and funds provided by operating activities. We believe our outsourced approach to manufacturing provides us with flexibility in both managing inventory levels

and financing our inventory. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and funds available through our credit facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over at least the next twelve months. In the event our revenue plan does not meet our expectations, we may eliminate or curtail expenditures to mitigate the impact on our working capital. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth or decline, the expansion or contraction of our marketing and sales activities, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts, the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements to existing products, the acquisition of new capabilities or technologies, the continuing market acceptance of our products and services, and the impact of COVID-19 on our business. Moreover, to the extent existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash from operations, and cash from short-term borrowing are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. As part of our business strategy, we may consider additional acquisitions of companies, technologies and products, which could also require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Additional funds may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all.

Contractual Obligations

The disclosure of our contractual obligations and commitments is set forth under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Contractual Obligations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019. Our principal commitments generally consist of obligations under our credit facility, leases for office space and minimum contractual obligations. Other obligations consist of primarily of subscription services. There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments since December 28, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Exchange Rate Sensitivity

Our international revenue and expenses are denominated in multiple currencies, including British Pounds, Canadian Dollars, Chinese Renminbi, Euros and Japanese Yen. As such, we have exposure to adverse changes in exchange rates associated with the revenue and operating expenses of our foreign operations. Any fluctuations in other currencies will have minimal direct impact on our international revenue.

In addition to international business conducted in foreign currencies, we have international revenue denominated in U.S. dollars. As the U.S. dollar strengthens or weakens against other currencies, our international distributors may be impacted, which could affect their profitability and our ability to maintain current pricing levels on our international consumer products.

We regularly monitor the forecast of non-U.S. dollar revenue and expenses and the level of non-U.S. dollar monetary asset and liability balances to determine if any actions, including possibly entering into foreign currency contracts should be taken to minimize the impact of fluctuating exchange rates on our results of operations. Periodically, we enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge against foreign currency fluctuations. These contracts may or may not be designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. We use cash flow hedges primarily to reduce the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on sales in Euros and Japanese Yen. At ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, we had outstanding cash flow hedges with a total notional value of ~~$411.2~~$430.2 million and $424.6 million, respectively.

We also enter into economic hedges that are not designated as hedges from an accounting standpoint to reduce or eliminate the effects of foreign exchange rate changes typically related to short term trade receivables and payables. These contracts have maturities of twelve months or less. At ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, we had outstanding economic hedges with a total notional value of ~~$61.1~~$26.8 million and $58.4 million, respectively.

At ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, assuming all other variables are constant, if the U.S. Dollar weakened or strengthened by 10%, the fair market value of our foreign currency contracts would increase or decrease by approximately ~~$47.9~~$47.4 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that

our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective at a reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

This information is included in Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, in the accompanying notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements and is incorporated herein by reference from Item 1 of Part I.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, the risks and uncertainties that we believe are most important for you to consider are discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, which we currently deem immaterial or which are similar to those faced by other companies in our industry or business in general, may also impair our business operations. There are no material changes to the Risk Factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019, other than as set forth below:

Our business has been, and will continue to be, adversely affected by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus has evolved into a global pandemic. The coronavirus has already directly and indirectly impacted our business and operating results but the full extent of its impact will depend on future developments that are uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. The ultimate impact of the current pandemic, or any other health epidemic, is highly uncertain and subject to change not only with the spread of the disease, but also with the scope and timing of governmental, regulatory, fiscal, monetary and public health responses.

As the coronavirus continues to spread, our business operations could be further disrupted or delayed. The pandemic has already resulted in, and may continue to result in, work stoppages, slowdowns and delays, travel restrictions, event cancellation, and other factors that cause an increase in costs or order cancellations, reductions or delays. For example, our manufacturing supply chain has been and may continue to be adversely affected with production delays or limited manufacturing volumes associated with factory shutdowns or reduced numbers of workers or working hours in the factories, limits on component supplies and diminished capability to implement engineering and design changes in a timely manner. Specifically, travel restrictions have prevented, and may continue to prevent, significant progress in supply chain diversification efforts in Malaysia, which may have a material impact on our ability to mitigate in the impact of certain tariffs. In addition, quarantines, stay at home orders and other travel limitations (whether voluntary or required) impede our employees’ ability to

efficiently conduct research and development activities or oversee manufacturing activities, which has, and may continue to, slow innovation, lead to higher costs or both. For example, we have already experienced an increase in air freight costs and a delay in our supply chain diversification efforts. Further, if the spread of the coronavirus pandemic continues and our operations continue to be adversely impacted, we risk a delay, default, violation and/or non-compliance under existing agreements.

The spread of the coronavirus, which has caused a broad impact globally, including restrictions on travel and quarantine policies put into place by businesses and governments, has had and may continue to have a material economic effect on our business. For example, the pandemic and related measures taken to limit the spread of disease has resulted in higher unemployment and greater economic uncertainty, which may adversely affect consumer purchasing behavior. Further, retail store closures, whether temporary or permanent, as well as limited operating hours and restrictions on foot traffic and maximum capacities in stores may continue to adversely affect sales of our products. Certain retailers, who we rely on for a significant portion of our revenue, have begun, and may continue, to unilaterally stretch payables to us that may increase our accounts receivable, strain our liquidity, and increase the likelihood of our failure to collect on product previously sold.

While the potential economic impact and the duration of the pandemic may be difficult to assess or predict, it has already caused, and is likely to result in further, significant disruption of global financial markets. In addition, a recession, depression or other sustained adverse market event resulting from the spread of the coronavirus could materially and adversely affect our business, our access to needed capital and liquidity, and the value of our common stock. We do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on our business, our industry or the global economy as a whole. Additionally, while significant efforts are underway to slow the spread of the disease, increase testing and develop vaccines and therapeutics, it is unclear when or whether progress in any of those areas will translate into an economic recovery that will restore consumer confidence and accelerate consumer spending. Accordingly, given that the potential of these effects of the current pandemic on our operations has been and will likely continue to be material, we will continue to monitor the situation closely.

If we experience a disaster or other business continuity problem, we may not be able to recover successfully, which could cause material financial loss, loss of human capital, regulatory actions, reputational harm, or legal liability.

If we experience a local or regional disaster or other business continuity problem, such as an earthquake, terrorist attack, pandemic or other natural or man-made disaster, our continued success will depend, in part, on the availability of our personnel, our office facilities, and the proper functioning of our computer, telecommunication and other related systems and operations. As we grow our operations in new geographic regions, the potential for particular types of natural or man-made disasters, political, economic or infrastructure instabilities, or other country- or region-specific business continuity risks increases. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted and will continue to disrupt our supply chain and manufacturers, resulting in a disruption in manufacturing our products as further discussed in the risk factors entitled "We depend on a limited number of manufacturers, and our reputation and results of operations would be harmed if these manufacturers fail to meet our requirements" below and "Our business has been, and will continue to be, adversely affected by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic" above.

Significant developments from the recent and potential changes in U.S. trade policies have had, and may continue to have, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The U.S. government has indicated its intent to alter its approach to international trade policy and in some cases to renegotiate, or potentially terminate, certain existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements and treaties with foreign countries. Effective September 24, 2018, the U.S. government implemented a 10% tariff on certain goods imported from China, which include the majority of those imported by the Company. These tariffs were increased to 25% on May 10, 2019 and were slated to further increase to 30% in October 2019 until a last-minute interim deal was reached between the United States and China. Although the United States and China signed a new trade agreement in January 2020, most of the previously-implemented tariffs on goods imported from China remain in place (including the tariffs described above), and uncertainty remains as to the short-term and long-term future of economic relations between the United States and China.

From September 2018 until April 2020, our Roomba products were subject to Section 301 tariffs. From September 2018 through March 28, 2020, we paid an aggregate of $57.2 million in Section 301 tariffs on our Roomba products. On April 24, 2020, we were granted a temporary exclusion from Section 301 List 3 tariffs by the United States Trade Representative. This exclusion, as extended in August 2020, eliminates the 25% tariff on Roomba products until ~~August 7,~~December 31, 2020 and entitles us to a refund of ~~$57.2~~$60.3 million in tariffs paid since the date the Section 301 List 3 tariffs were imposed. However, ~~absent an extension on this exemption, on August 7, 2020,~~ the 25% Section 301 tariff on our products imported from China will ~~automatically reinstate. We have applied for an extension~~apply to our ~~tariff~~Roomba products starting January 1, 2021 absent a further extension of the exclusion ~~however we cannot predict~~by the ~~likelihood of obtaining such an~~United States Trade Representative. There is currently no process to apply for a further extension nor any formal indication from the ~~length~~U.S. government that any such exclusion extensions will be considered. Although we have begun relocating a meaningful portion of ~~any extension granted. If~~our supply chain from China to Malaysia, if we ~~are again subject to this tariff,~~do not have an exclusion from the Section 301 tariffs, we will again experience a lowering of our margin on products sold and pricing pressures on our products. The already-implemented, and any additional or increased, tariffs have caused and may in the future cause us to further increase prices to our customers which we believe has reduced, and in the future may reduce, demand for our products.

These tariffs, and other governmental action relating to international trade agreements or policies, have directly or indirectly adversely impacted demand for our products, our costs, customers, suppliers, distributors, resellers and/or the U.S. economy or certain sectors thereof and, as a result, have adversely impacted, and ~~if our tariff exclusion is not extended past August 7, 2020,~~ we expect will continue to adversely impact, our business, financial condition and results of operations. It

remains unclear what the U.S. or foreign governments will or will not do with respect to tariffs, international trade agreements and policies on a short-term or long-term basis. We cannot predict future trade policy or the terms of any renegotiated trade agreements and their impacts on our business. The adoption and expansion of trade restrictions, the occurrence of a trade war, or other governmental action related to tariffs or trade agreements or policies has the potential to further adversely impact demand for our products, our costs, our customers, our suppliers, and the U.S. economy, which in turn could further adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In response to international trade policy, as well as other risks associated with concentrated manufacturing in China, we have begun relocating a meaningful portion of our supply chain from China to Malaysia. Such relocation activities increase costs and risks associated with establishing new manufacturing facilities.

We depend on a limited number of manufacturers, and our reputation and results of operations would be harmed if these manufacturers fail to meet our requirements.

We depend on a limited number of manufacturers, employing a dual-source strategy to mitigate potential manufacturing disruptions, and we have safety stock strategies for low-volume products that are not dual sourced. The majority of our contract manufacturing locations for our robots are currently located in China and we added additional manufacturing capacity in Malaysia in late 2019, where we have ramped up, and expect to continue to ramp up production in 2020. These manufacturers manage the supply chain for all of the raw materials and provide all facilities and labor required to manufacture our products. If these companies were to terminate their arrangements with us or fail to provide the required capacity and quality on a timely basis, there would be a disruption in manufacturing our products until replacement contract manufacturing services could be obtained or volume transferred to an alternative manufacturing partner, each of which is a costly and time-consuming process. We cannot assure you that we would be able to establish alternative manufacturing arrangements on acceptable terms or in a timely manner.

We are dependent on a limited number of suppliers for various components used in our products, and we may from time to time have sole source suppliers. The cost, quality and availability of these components are essential to the successful production and sale of our products. We are subject to the risk of, and have already experienced, industry-wide shortages, price fluctuations and long lead times in the supply of these components and other materials, which risk may be increased as a result of COVID-19. If the supply of these components were to be delayed or constrained, or if one or more of our main suppliers were to go out of business, alternative sources or suppliers may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. In the event that any of our suppliers were to discontinue production of our key product components, developing alternate sources of supply for these components would be time consuming, difficult and costly. In the event we are unable to obtain components in sufficient quantities on a timely basis and on commercially reasonable terms, our ability to sell our products in order to meet market demand would be affected and could materially and adversely affect our brand, image, business prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Our reliance on these contract manufacturers involves certain risks, including the following:

•lack of direct control over production capacity and delivery schedules;

•lack of direct control over quality assurance, manufacturing yields and production costs;

•lack of enforceable contractual provisions over the production and costs of consumer products;

•risk of loss of inventory while in transit;

•risks associated with international commerce, including unexpected changes in legal and regulatory requirements, changes in tariffs and trade policies, risks associated with the protection of intellectual property and political and economic instability; and

•risks that our attempts to add additional manufacturing resources may be significantly delayed and thereby create disruptions in production of our products.

Any interruption in the manufacture of our products would be likely to result in delays in shipment, lost sales and revenue and damage to our reputation in the market, all of which would harm our business and results of operations. In addition, because our purchase contracts with suppliers are typically denominated in U.S. dollars, changes in currency exchange rates may impact our suppliers who operate in local currency, which may cause our suppliers to seek price concessions on future orders.

If we are not successful in expanding our direct-to-consumer sales channel by driving consumer traffic and consumer purchases through our website, our business and results of operations could be harmed.

We are currently investing in our direct-to-consumer sales channel, primarily through our website and mobile app, and our future growth relies in part on our ability to attract consumers to this channel, which requires significant expenditures in marketing, software development and infrastructure. If we are unable to drive traffic to, and increase sales through, our website and mobile app, our business and results of operations could be harmed. The success of direct-to-consumer sales is subject to risks associated with e-commerce, many of which are outside of our control. Our inability to adequately respond to these risks and uncertainties or to successfully maintain and expand our direct-to-consumer business via our website may have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
